Craftmad May Card Swap - Lace and Pearls


I have two cards to share with you today.  I made these on the weekend for my Craftmad swap partner.  (See all the beautiful creations by other Craftmad members here) Our theme for May was Lace and Pearls and of course I went immediately to girly and pink. :-)  I am having a love hate relationship with both of these cards.  

The top card I copied a layout from Alice of Alice's (little) Wonderland.....I so love her style and her colouring is amazing.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up, the cute little tutu is JenniB, the lace and paper from my stash.


Now this card started with the lace and pearl border that I had in my collection and then I spied the 'Cute Girly' diecut on my desk and thought she would be perfect.  She was white and I have coloured her with my Copic pens maybe I should have made her a different colour.  The paper is from Blue Edge Crafts, Combo Scrapbook Collection 

Hope you all have a lovely week.  Not sure what is in store for me yet.  Part of it is getting bits and pieces for our last sausage sizzle fundraiser for our Relay for Life team.  A little bit of help at the Museum one day and hopefully some more gardening as the weather is much cooler and enjoyable to be outside. 

I would like to share these cards in the following challenges:
